He famously bottled out of proposing to (or dumping) girlfriend Sam in last year’s disastrous live episode, but it looks like Joey may just have found the courage to try again.

The Fusey shop owner was seen in the last episode telling Sam’s sister Billie his intentions to propose, he said “Basically I want to propose to Sam. I’ve had it planned for ages but I want to do it in the right way”. He then showed her a sparkly ring and she declared that it was “perfect!”

Ever the romantic, Joey whisked his lucky girlfriend off for a luxury trip to Dubai, where he plans to pop the question.

In the image, Joey (who looks like he’s about to play a game of tennis) is seen on bended knee at the dinner table. His hand is stretched outwards towards a shocked looking Sam who looks stunning in a pale embellished dress.

The cute TOWIE couple has had a rocky relationship in the past, having broken up after a series of rows. But recently, we’ve seen the pair looking loved up and seemingly happier than ever.

So will Joey finally make an honest woman out of Sam? We will soon see!
